Nestle Black Magic - 348g

In British confectionery, Black Magic has always been the boxed chocolate for people who prefer dark. The milkier selections fill the aisle; this one sits slightly apart in its black box, looking rather pleased with itself.

People in Canada go looking for it because it was the box on the side at Gran's, or the one Dad bought when he remembered an anniversary just in time. You can try describing it to someone, but it is quicker to hand them the box and let them work it out.

It is a 348g box, enough for a proper share round the table or a long, slow week on your own. Keep it in a cool, dry cupboard away from the radiator, and put the lid back on between visits so the chocolates stay as they should.

Nestlé's British range runs from KitKat to Aero, and Black Magic sits at the serious end of it. People who order it often add something milkier for the rest of the household, and a box of proper tea to go alongside.
